To My Comrades— D //^o8 

Fully appreciating the distinguished favor which you have conferred 
upon me for thirty years by being your permanent Secretary, I take 
great pleasure in presenting to you this memorial as a souvenir of our 
pleasant gathering at Arlington, Va., on October 21, 1896. 

I am also pleased to gratify your frequent requests for Mrs. Kil- 
bourn's picture. She has been my constant helper in my work for the 
Association, having attended every reunion but one, and pinned on 
your badges and button-hole bouquets, and proudly w^ears on her hand 
the handsome diamond ring you gave her at Winsted. At the right of 
the monument can be seen the beautiful banner of blue silk, embroid- 
ered by herself and presented to the Association in 1894. 

The picture of A. G. Bliss of Washington, D. C, the " member of 
Co. E " and Vice-President of the 6th Corps Association at Washing- 
ton, is that of him to whose indefatigable exertions we are indebted for 
all the arrangements at Washington and Arlington that made the occa- 
sion such a complete success. 

Since this has been in the publisher's hands the tragic death of 
Lieut. S. A. Granger has saddened all our hearts. His picture is here- 
with presented as a memorial of him who, although not officially upon 
the committees, took the greatest interest in all matters relating to the 
monument and dedication, and in everything connected with the Asso- 
ciation. 

The list of dead is necessarily imperfect. Will comrades or others, 
noticing errors or omissions, kindly notify me.

THE EXCURSION. 



ON the morning of October i8, 1896, about a hundred 
and fifty persons assembled at the depot of the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Jersey City, N. J., as members 
of the excursion party, destined for Winchester, Va., and 
Washington, D. C, to dedicate the monuments erected by. 
the State of Connecticut in honor of its 12th Conn. Infantry 
and 2d Conn. Heavy Artillery Regiments. 

At nine o'clock, three well-filled passenger coaches and 
one sleeper slowly started out of the junction, and were soon 
speeding over the marshes and bays and through the vary- 
ing rural scenes of New Jersey, where the innumerable 
advertising signboards lend such a charm to the views and 
furnish contemplative subjects for the traveler and make the 
underground journey under Philadelphia in a smoky tunnel 
a great relief. Arriving at Baltimore, a good dinner 
awaited us in the dining-room, and at two o'clock, with an 
additional sleeper added, we left for Washington, arriving 
there at three, and took on a number more of the excursion- 
ists. After a short delay we started out for Harper's Ferry 
over the " Metropolitan Branch," passing over ground that 
was once the scene to many of us of weary marches, tire- 
some camp life, unpleasant skirmishes, and bloody battles 
— and the "boys" were busy locating various places to 
memory dear. One incident we shall long remember, the 
passage over a deep gorge or ravine, upon a seemingly frail 
trestle-work, while workmen were busy erecting an iron 
bridge. " A bridge of sighs " truly it was. 

Due at Harper's Ferry at 4.30, we reached it at about 
six, and after a short stop we proceeded up the Shenandoah 
in the darkness to Winchester, which we reached at nearly 
seven, finding a large crowd awaiting us. Captain Dudrow, 
connected with the B. & O. road, had met us at Baltimore 



and assigned accommodations for all at the various hotels and 
boarding-houses ; so that there was very little confusion, and 
soon all were enjoying good suppers at pleasant, comfortable 
homes. 

In the evening nearly all attended the services in the 
different churches, some of which had prepared special 
exercises in honor of their Northern guests. 

"In the slumbers of midnight, our cares flew away 
And visions of happiness danced o'er our mind." 

At morning's dawn the rested slumberers awoke, not 
roused as we were thirty-two years ago by booming guns 
and shrieking shell and the pit-a-pat of the minnie, nor 
summoned to deadly combat by hurrying orderlies, but by 
the farmers' carts rattling along the stony street, and the 
whistle of the factory and the fragrant smell of the cooking 
breakfast. How suggestive of the past that morning table 
— fried chicken, lamb chops, corn bread ! Oh, memory of 
Berryville ! 

At an early hour assembly was made in front of the 
Court House beneath which the bones of Lord Fairfax rest, 
and the pickaninnies furnished amusement gathering in stray 
pennies. Then line was formed, and, escorted by the Union 
Cornet Band of the city we marched to the national ceme- 
tery, half a mile distant on the Berryville Pike, and partici- 
pated in exercises of the dedication of the monument to the 
1 2th Conn. Infantry. 

The afternoon of this day was devoted to visiting the 
battlefield of the Opequan, locally known as the " Hack- 
wood Farm," gathering bullets, sticks for canes, and such 
other relics as could be found, while the kodakers touched 
the button at nearly every spot, and some fine views were 
gathered in. Night came and we again encamped, some at 
the Taylor House, as" in' years long ago, while others 
bivouaced in other houses, and waited for the inorning call. 

At half-past eight, Tuesday morning, our train left Win- 
chester for Cedar Creek, and in about half an hour stopped 
at the little station, and the party, now of two hundred or 
more, were soon scrambling over the ledges and hills, all 
anxious to find where some one was wounded, or some com- 



7 

rade was killed in the bloody carnag'e of thirty-two years 
before. It was not easy to identify the ground from memo- 
ries thirty years old, but, after two hours, the re-assembling 
parties all seemed to be satisfied with their visits, and, 
boarding the train with their relics of the battlefield, were 
soon landed back in Winchester for dinner. 

Upon our return from Cedar Creek after dinner, at 1.30 
p. M., our train left Winchester for Washington, stopping 
nearly two hours at Harper's Ferry which time was well im- 
proved by parties visiting Bolivar Heights, Jefferson's Rock, 
and other objects of historical interest in this wild, romantic 
city. The train reached Washington about six o'clock, and 
the excursionists went to the various hotels provided for 
them. 

On the morning of October 21st, at nine o'clock, the 
members of the regiment were provided with a special 
train on the electric road to Arlington, crossing Long Bridge, 
and were landed at the " Sheridan " gate of the national 
cemetery. A walk of quarter of a mile took us to the 
Mansion House and which we knew as Gen. DeRussey's 
Headquarters, in rear of which the Auditorium had been 
elegantly draped and festooned for our dedicatory exercises. 



THE DEDICATION. 



THE first exercise of the day was the annual reunion of 
the Regiment, the details of which will be found in 
another chapter. After this business meeting was closed, 
the exercises proper of the dedication began. 

The rostrum was occupied by the 6th Regiment United 
States Cavalry Band, the various officers of the association, 
by invited members of the 12th Regiment Association, Gen- 
eral H. G. Wright, former commander of the 6th Corps, and 
his daughter, Mrs. Wright Smith, an adopted daughter of 
the 6th A. C ; by reporters of the Washington papers, and 
other friends ; while the seats in the auditorium were filled 
by a large audience of Connecticut residents of the city. 

The exercises were opened by " The American Guard 
March," rendered by the band. 

The President, Lieutenant F. M. Cooke, introduced our 
former comrade. Captain (now Rev.) James Deane of 
Crown Point, N. Y., who offered the following 

"INVOCATION 

" Infinite and almighty God, Creator of ourselves, and Author of 
every liberty that we may rightly enjoy, to Thee we lift our prayer as 
we gather here, on this ground made sacred by its memorials of sacri- 
fice. 

" Be Thou near to us, the living, who assemble to do fitting honor 
to the memory of our comrades dead. Sanctify to us all the reminders 
that make fresh appeal to our hearts in this hour, and help us to prize 
more truly our land and its choicest institutions, for the maintenance of 
which our comrades gave themselves so freely. 

" Make Thou the story of their devotion yet more pregnant with 
the power of a worthy impression upon our hearts, and in our homes as 
well ; that those now growing beside us, upon whom must soon devolve 
the gravest responsibilities of our citizenship, may learn the lesson, and 
grow equally in the knowledge and the love of country, of liberty, of 
truth, and of Thyself. Help us to the exercise of a fitting purpose and

spirit in the different elements of our present service, and to that con- 
stancy and faith in all the duties of our citizenship which is becoming 
on the part of those whom Thou hast called to so great privileges, and 
the cherishing of such inspiring memories. 

" So may Thy blessing rest upon us, and upon all whose thoughts 
turn toward this place to-day. So may Thy providence effectually pro- 
tect our land and nation through all the chances and changes of the 
future, and make our country increasingly the harbinger of hope for 
the world. All which of present grace and future favor we ask in the 
name of Thy Son, our Redeemer. Amen." 

Then the " Recollections of the War," a grand medley of 
war songs from the band, followed, after which Comrade 
William E. Disbrow of Company H, now Quartermaster- 
General of the State of Connecticut, briefly presented the 
monument to the Association in behalf of the State of Con- 
necticut. 

The rendering of " The Soldier's Farewell " by the band 
called forth great applause, and then Captain Edward W. 
Marsh received the monument in behalf of the Association, 
as follows : 

" We are thankful that the State of Connecticut has made 
provision for the erection of one monument for every regi- 
ment, in order to commemorate the deeds of her sons who 
served in the War of the great Rebellion. 

" We are especially thankful that it is our privilege to 
locate the one perpetuating the valor of our own regiment 
upon these beautiful grounds, which have been forever set 
apart and consecrated as a burial place for the dead heroes 
of our beloved country. 

" That not far away is the memorial of our late commander 
and leader, the distinguished General vSheridan, who was so 
great a favorite with us, and in whom we placed the most 
implicit confidence, whether in camp, on the march, or in 
time of battle. 

" This monument will remain a perpetual witness to the 
patriotism of the 2,700 and more men who enlisted in the 
19th Connecticut Infantry and the 2d Connecticut Volunteer 
Heavy Artillery for the purpose of sustaining the imion of 
these United States and the integrity of our great Re- 
public.

lO 

" More than this, it will remain a memorial of the 500 
and more men killed and wounded in the various engage- 
ments on the battle-field. 

" It is also a memorial of those members of our organiz- 
ation who have died since the close of the war. 

" We behold also our own monument, dedicated before 
the final roll-call that shall summon each and every one of 
us before the Judge of all the earth. 

" On this occasion, and in the presence of these witnesses, 
we declare anew our allegiance to the government, and our 
faith in the starry flag which is the symbol of our Union. 

" We believe now, as we did in the past, in the preserva- 
tion of this Union. 

" We believe that religious liberty and civil liberty should 
be inseparable. 

" We believe that religion, morality, and knowledge are 
essential to good government and the happiness of man- 
kind. 

" Comrades, do not we speak your sentiments when we 
accept with gratitude this gift from our State, realizing the 
intent and spirit of our beloved commonwealth in its pre- 
sentation, and with a full understanding of all it means to 
us and those who shall come after us." 

Captain Marsh's address was followed by music, " My 
Lodging is on the Cold Ground," after which Hon. A. C. 
Hendrick, mayor of New Haven, and Chaplain Bradford, 
representing the 12th Regiment Connecticut Infantry, made 
brief remarks. 

The following poem by Comrade DeWitt C. Sprague was 
omitted, owing to the illness of its distinguished author : 

AT ARLINGTON. 

Dear Arlington ! thy vernal bloom is shed, 
Thy summer loveliness has passed away, 
But Autumn comes, ere Winter's icy sway, 

To deck thy sod with purple, gold, and red. 

Connecticut, these sacred mounds for thee 
Enfold thy children's dust, and now we bring 
To their dear memory our offering. 

Although the song of praise should loftier be. 




BREVET-COL. A H. FENN. 



II I 

Thy sons, proud State, thy faithful sons have bled \ 

On many a glorious field for Freedom's right, ' 

To crush the tyrants or Rebellion's might, ' 

Through many a deadly breach heroic led. j 

Their deeds require no storied column high, ] 

No voice of eloquence, no flattering song ; ( 

They are our heritage, and they belong j 

To Fame and Freedom, and shall never die. ( 

Though massive granite crumble all away i 

And perish every trophy of their fame, j 

Still their proud memory would live on the same, , 

Preserved and honored to the latest day. i 

They rear themselves a living monument I 

Who for their country fight, or die for her ; 

Earth's tenderest bosom is their sepulchre ; ] 

That's hallowed ground with which their dust is blent ! ; 

Ah ! Freedom knows and guards the lonely grave ; 

That bears the touching epitaph, " Unknown ! " ■ 

Blessing the sod, she clamis it as her own, : 

While eyes unseen weep o'er the nameless brave. 

Tread softly ! Freedom's voice hath blessed the ground ! { 

Here sleep her children. Never, never more | 

The drum will rouse, or cannon's awful roar. l 

Rest on, O honored dead, in peace profound ! 

I 
I 

When thou shalt come again, O gentle Spring ! j 

Bedeck with mantle green each lowly bed, • J 

Fresh immortelles with dewy fingers spread, ■ 

And let thy feathered choir the requiem sing. 

Major A. H. Fenn, now a judge of the Supreme Court of 
Errors of Connecticut, then delivered the following : 

ORATION. 

It is not my purpose to recite, except in the briefest ". 
possible way, those events that constitute what might be 

called the history of our regiment, — that history, the best, ': 

I think, of all regimental histories, the masterpiece among | 
such works, was written by a comrade tender and true, 

whom we loved in life because he first loved us, and who to- I 

day is, as I trust, with the great majority of our old asso- j 



12 

ciates, waiting (and they will not have long to wait) to 
extend to us who still survive an old-time welcome on the 
other side. That history is written also on every brain, and 
in every heart, of those who once wore its uniform, and 
marched beneath its flags as they floated upon the front of 
battle, and led to victory for our cause, and death for the 
right. This is enough for us. It should be enough for 
those for whom we fought. A word only, then, of that con- 
cerning which, if fully told, the world could not contain the 
volumes which would be written. 

The Nineteenth Connecticut Infantry was the response 
of Litchfield county to the call of the President for addi- 
tional troops at the close of the Peninsula campaign in the 
suinmer of 1862. It sprang, armed and equipped, from the 
loins of the people, and joined, full voiced, in the answering 
cry, " We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred 
thousand more." Our first service was under and in a 
Slough. To be the scavengers of Alexandria did not seem 
very glorious, but it was like the path of glory in this, that 
it led many of our dear comrades to the grave. Call not 
such deaths untimely, or too early. 

" Before the fight to fall out of the ranks, 

Dead and unslain, 
To miss their glorious guerdon of God's thanks 

That die for men. 

" To fade before the sunset, when the noon 

Brightens the brow, 
Hush, rebel heart, nor answer thou ' Too soon,' 

When God calls ' Now.' 

" Whoso has loved the light, for him the sun 

Will rise anew. 
Whoso has done his best, leaves naught undone 
That man can do." 

Then came our detail in the forts, long continued, fully 
occupied, arduous in many ways, useful to the country in all 
ways, resulting in our transference to another branch 
under the name of the Second Connecticut Heavy Artillery, 
and fitting us to better perform the signal service waiting 
for us in the field. 

Then came the 17th day of May, 1864, and from that time 



13 

forward I shall here only say, wherever the history of the deeds 
of the Army of the Potomac, under Grant and Meade, and of 
the Arm^y of the Shenandoah, under Sheridan, and of the 
old Sixth Corps, under that gallant and beloved son of Con- 
necticut, whom God has spared to be with us here to-day, 
Maj.-Gen. Horatio G. Wright, in that last year of the war, 
from the Wilderness through Cold Harbor to Petersburg, 
back to Washington, to Winchester, Fisher's Hill, Cedar 
Creek, Petersburg again, Hatcher's Run, Sailor Creek to 
Appomattox, shall be inscribed, pointing with proud finger 
to that record every surviving member of our regiment may 
say, " All of this I saw, and part of it I was." So much the 
living may say. But what of the dead who strewed its path- 
way everywhere ? They died that the nation might live. 
And, thanks be to God, the nation lives, and they have their 
reward. 

The State of Connecticut erected this monument in honor 
of our regiment, and in memory of its dead. It was fitting 
that it should do this ; fitting, also, that such memorial 
should be placed in a national cemetery. The vines * jour- 
neyed or rested, by the stars, wherever we went or were. 
And when we journey no more, but rest forever more, the 
vines still cluster about us, and the stars glow in lustre 
above. 

And it is fitting, also, that this monument should stand 
in this particular cemetery and place. It was in this vicinity 
that much of our useful service was performed. Here, some 
of our fallen comrades sleep. Here, in the future years, in 
an especial degree, those v^ho in the love of our country 
seek to pay respect and do reverence to its defenders will 
come and linger and adore. This will be Freedom's and 
Fame's eternal camping ground, and glory will here abide 
forever, and keep safe and holy this bivouac of the dead. 

We are here to-day to dedicate this memorial. And yet, 
how true is the thought expressed in the immortal words of 
Abraham Lincoln, at Gettysburg, that such dedication can- 
not be made by words. It comes from action. Not from 
the lips, but from the life. It is for us, the living, rather, to 
be dedicated here to that cause for which they died ; the 



* Alluding to the vines on the State coat-of-arms. 



14 

cause of free government ; to the establishment, upon 
sure and stable and immovable foundations, of that union of 
states, which, though many, shall be one, and, though de- 
noted by separate stars, shall constitute a single glorious 
constellation, whose radiance shall irradiate and enlighten 
the world. 

As we stand here to-day, a flood-tide of memories, rich, 
tender, and precious, rush in upon us with overwhelming 
force. The present, with all its thoughts, cares, activities, 
and duties, vanishes, and is submergetl. In place of this, the 
scenes of the past come vividly to view. We see again the 
white tents spread over the plain, the blazing camp fires, 
the sentries pacing lonely beats in the silence of the night, 
the skeletons in rebel prison cells, the fevered and delirious 
soldiers in tent or hospital. We hear the bugles. We see 
the rush to arms, the rally round the flags. We feel the 
shock of battle. We look into the sweet faces of living com- 
rades, and then only a moment later we look down upon 
those same faces lying at our feet, calm, still, and radiant 
with the peace of God that passeth all understanding, — 
the faces of those who have fought a good fight, who have 
finished their course, who have kept the faith ; who, as the 
Master died to make men holy, themselves died to make 
men free. 

Oh, brothers in the past, brothers now, brothers forever ! 
— the state from which you went, the country for which 
you died, dedicates this monument to your memory, conse- 
crates it to you with its gratitude, hallows it by its love. Oh, 
sacred trust committed to these stones, to stand through 
centuries to come and tell to all the story of those who so 
loved their native land that they counted it a privilege to 
die in its defense ! But not for this only will it stand ; not 
merely to point to the past, to speak of those whose work is 
ended, but also, nay, rather, to show from the past to the 
present and to the future the path of duty in which they 
led, and we who live, and those who come after us should 
follow. 

So, in the providence of God, let us trust that it will 
prove. Thus, and thus only, shall it come to be, that the 
dead of our regiment shall not have died in vain. During 



15 

the war we contributed to, and largely constituted the de- 
fense of the nation's capitol, on this side of the Potomac. As 
then, so now, and hereafter, may it be. Where we stood, 
this memorial stands ; where we went, if there be need, 
other regiments bearing the same emblem of state and 
nation shall go, actuated by the same purpose, animated by 
the example set for them in the past. ^ Because our regi- 
ment lived and did its duty, others like it will live and do 
theirs also. Thus, while warring only for a perishing im- 
perialism, the old guard of France, at Waterloo, died, though 
it would not surrender. Our regiment, standing for the 
eternal rights of man, also never surrendered. And it will 
never die. As I look into the visages of my surviving com- 
rades here to-day, I see beneath the wrinkles and waste and 
wear of thirty superadded years, the same fires that glowed 
in your 3^outhful faces and led you on to battle then. I feel, 
I know, that the spirit that animated and nerved our regi- 
ment then has not lessened or weakened as the ranks have 
melted and lessened and gone down. It will live while we 
live. And when he who shall be so unfortunate as to be the 
last survivor of us all shall stand alone, he will stand anxious 
for the final summons to come, and ready in prompt re- 
sponse to shoulder arms and forward march into the great 
beyond, with the battle cry of freedom, and the shout of 
victory on his lips, that shall be taken up and carried on as 
though by our again united and unbroken ranks, by count- 
less millions yet unborn, and through unnumbered ages yet 
to come. 

At the close of the oration, the audience, accompanied by 
the band, sang "America," under the leadership of Stephen 
Maslen, the builder of the monument. 

The comrades then marched to the monument which had 
been beautifully draped by Superintendent Drum, and un- 
veiling it grouped themselves around it, and were photo- 
graphed by L. C. Handy, the war photographer of Wash- 
ington, D. C. 

A basket-lunch had been provided by Mrs. A. G. Bliss 
and daughters, which was greatly relished and enjoyed by 
nearly all the comrades. 

At half-past one in the afternoon a squadron of the 6th 



i6 

U. S. Cavalry, under command of Col. Samuel S. Sumner, 
gave a parade and drill upon the drill-ground of Fort Mey- 
ers, directly in rear of the cemetery. It was an interesting 
reminiscence of more than thirty years ago, when the artil- 
lery brigade and Gen. " Bob " Tyler was often induced to 
show some proficiency in military movements upon these 
grounds, and our vote of thanks was certainly only a feeble 
expression of our feelings. Thus ended, with our return to 
Washington and subsequent sight-seeing, this pleasant trip. 



THE REUNION. 

The 30th annual reunion of the Second Connecticut 
Heavy Artillery was held in the amphitheatre of Arlington 
Cemetery, Virginia, on Wednesday, October 21, 1896, at 10 
in the forenoon. It was called to order by the President,

than from those who served in the glorious old regiment to which we 
belonged ;

Resolved, That a viva voce vote of the association shall be had 
upon the report of the executive committee, and that on receiving a ma- 
jority vote and upon the payment of annual dues, candidates shall 

be constituted honorary members of the association and shall be quali- 
fied to participate in its proceedings. 

Your committee has given due consideration to this mat- 
ter, and while the sense of this Association has heretofore 
been adverse to the establishment of an honorary member- 
ship, it is believed that, as our comrades are rapidly falling- 
out of the ranks, the time is now propitious for such action. 

It must be apparent that without some steps of this na- 
ture are taken to augment our numbers our Association 
must necessarily cease to exist in a few years at the most. 

Your cominittee believes that the perpetuation of this 
Association is desirable, not only as a means of handing 
down to posterity the name and fame of the glorious old 
regiment in which we served, but also as a means of instill- 
ing into the breasts of our posterity that patriotic ardor 
which is the safety of the Republic. 

By pursuing this course we shall be. but following in the 
footsteps of many semi-military societies, among which 
may be mentioned the society of the 14th Conn. Regiment, 
which, at its reunion held in 1893, adopted a resolution 
providing for the admission to honorary membership of 
sons of its members. 

During the first two years that the resolution was in op- 
eration twenty-four sons availed themselves of the oppor- 
3 



i8 

tunity thus afforded, and the wisdom of such action is be- 
coming more manifest every year. 

Your committee therefore recommend the passage of 
the resolution after it shall be amended by inserting " fifty 
cents " in the hiatus, and by adding at the close of the reso- 
lution the words "but shall not be entitled to a vote on 
strictly business matters."

Upon motion, the report was accepted and the commit- 
tee discharged. 

It was then moved that the resolutions offered by the 
committee be adopted, and after a long debate the resolu- 
tions, as amended, were adopted. 

The following report of the Monument Committee was 
received and accepted. 

To our Comrades — 

The General Assembly of Connecticut, at its session of 
1893, passed a resolution authorizing the Quartermaster- 
General of the State to erect for each regiment of the State 
engaged in the rebellion a monument at a cost not to 
exceed one thousand dollars, and to be placed in some 
national cemetery or battlefield, the plans and location to 
be approved by the regimental association, and subject to 
certain conditions specified in said act and resolution. 

A special meeting of this regiment was held in Bridge- 
port early in 1894 to take the matter into consideration, 
whose action resulted in the appointment of a Monumental 
Committee, consisting of Comrades F. A. Lucas, D. C. Kil- 
bourn, W. H. Lewis, A. G. Bliss, and H. S. McKinney. 
They procured different designs and reported the same at 
the reunion in New Milford in 1894. The association 
adopted the design of Comrade Kilbourn, and continued 
the same committee, and voted that the monument be loca- 
ted at Arlington Cemetery, Virginia, that Judge Fenn be

invited to deliver the oration at its dedication, and that we 
would accept the provisions of the act of the legislature. ' 

The committee then proceeded with their duties. Mr. 
Kilbourn went to Washington, and was by Senator O. H. 
Piatt introduced to Gen. Batchelor, the Quartermaster-Gen- 
eral of the United States army, and who was pleased to give 
us lot loo in Section B for the site. 

In 1895, Comrade W. E. Disbrow of Company H became 
the Quartermaster-General of the State of Connecticut, and 
the plans and specifications were handed over to him for 
execution. 

It was expected that the monument would be erected in 
1895, b^'^t various circumstances interfered, and your com- 
mittee reported the progress made to the reunion at Lake- 
ville in 1895, and were again continued as the committee, 
and W. H. Whitelaw was added to it ; and it is mainly 
through his efforts that the excursion and transportation 
arrangements were made. 

Various circumstances have delayed the dedication until 
now, and in closing our report we wish to thank you all for 
your continual assistance and support. 

We append the builders' description of it for your pres- 
ervation, and hope that future generations may recognize 
its beauty and feel proud of this recorded gratitude of our 
commonwealth. 

Respectfully,

sion of the dedication of our regimental monument at the 
Arlington National Cemetery ; and also for enabling- this 
association to witness a squadron parade and drill by said 
command on this occasion. 

That our thanks be tendered to Charles F. Humphrey, 
Major and Quartermaster U. S. A., for the many courtesies 
and great assistance rendered by him as Depot Quarter- 
master in charge of the National Cemetery at Arlington, 
Va , on the occasion of the dedication of our regimental 
monument at said cemetery on October 21, 1896. 

That our thanks be tendered to Capt. A. B. Drum, Su- 
perintendent National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., for the 
kindness and courtesy received at his hands as superin- 
tendent on the occasion of the dedication of our regi- 
mental monument therein on October 21, 1896. 

Lieut. S. A. Granger acted as deacon and passed around 
the hat and collected a handsome sum for our regimental 
expenses. 

The association then adjourned subject to the call of the 
executive committee.

ARLINGTON. 



PROBABLY no cemetery in the world will be more cele- 
brated or honored in the future than this National 
Cemetery at Arlington, Virginia. It is the last resting-place 
of more than sixteen thousand men, who died upon the 
battle-fields around their country's capital in its defense 
when it was menaced and attacked by foes upholding a 
slaveholders' rebellion. 

"men who died that their country might live." 

The history of these beautiful grounds is interesting as 
an incident of the home life of Washington. 

The love marriage of Washington and Widow Custis was 
never blessed with children, but she came to Mount Vernon 
with her two children, John Parke Custis and Martha Custis. 
Martha, a lovely girl, died at the age of sixteen, and John 
became the sole heir of immense estates ; and, instead of 
going to college and becoming a clergyman, as Washington 
wished, he ran away from school, and at the age of nine- 
teen, in 1774, married a Maryland beauty, Eleanor Calvert, 
and soon bought of the Alexanders the present tract, now 
known as Arlington, of about 1,100 acres, naming it after 
the Earl of Arlington, one of the early grantees of Virginia 
lands. Custis espoused the cause of the colonies, and was 
an aid of General Washington during the Revolutionary war, 
and died of the camp fever at Yorktown immediately after 
the surrender of Cornwallis. Washington adopted his two 
youngest children, George -W. P. Custis and Eleanor Custis, 
and thenceforward they lived as a part of his family. 

Upon reaching manhood, shortly after the death of 
General Washington, G. W. P. Custis erected the present 
mansion house, modeling it after the ancient temple of 
Theseus of Athens. The location plainly shows the wise 



26 

and cultivated tastes of its owner — upon one of the bluffs 
on the west shore of the Potomac, near the great highway 
from Georgetown to Alexandria, the two then great com- 
mercial cities of the upper Potomac, overlooking the newly- 
laid-out capital city of an incipient nation. To this classical 
mansion, in the midst of grand old forest trees and views of 
entrancing beauty, its founder brought Mary Lee Fitzhugh 
as bride in 1803, and for more than half a century Arling- 
ton was the home of a hospitable, wealthy, quiet Southern 
gentleman farmer, to whose open doors patriots, statesmen, 
and scholars were ever welcomed by all the pleasant grace 
and courtesy that refinement and wealth could offer. Here 
he gathered in those many years all the fruits of such a life 
— elegant paintings (and he himself was a painter of no 
mean ability), a library of rare and valuable books, curios, 
and specimens, and, more valuable than all, innumerable 
relics of Mount Vernon and George Washington's career. 

Only one child was born and reared in this lovely home, 
a daughter, Mary, who in 1831 married a young lieutenant 
in the United States army, Robert E. Lee, a descendant of 
Richard Lee, a younger son of the Earl of Litchfield, who 
came to America in 1641 as colonial secretary under Sir 
William Berkeley, and they thereafter lived until the Civil 
War in this Arlington home. 

In 1857 Mr. Custis died, devising Arlington to his grand- 
son, George W. C. Lee, subject to the life use of his parents. 

The story of Lee's refusing the command of the Union 
army, and casting his abilities with the slave power, is too 
well known for repeating. He resigned on April 20, 1861, 
and two days later he and his family left Arlington, as it 
proved to be, forever. It was soon occupied by the Union 
troops, and has ever since been under government control. 
In 1864 it was purchased by the government at a tax sale 
for $26,100 ; but at the death of Mrs. Lee, in 1873, her son 
instituted recovery proceedings, which culminated in 1883, 
after a long litigation, in the government purchasing it for 
$150,000, and thus acquiring a good title. During the Civil 
War it was used chiefly as official headquarters, and known 
to our own regiment as General DeRussey's headquarters,

or of the Defenses south of the Potomac, and we had a num- 
ber of men detailed there as guards, clerks, or in similar 
services. 

In 1864, owing- to the overcrowded condition of the 
various cemeteries about Washington, it was a perplexing 
question how to dispose of the more than 8,000 interments. 
General Meigs, quartermaster of the armies, ordered inter- 
ments at Arlington, and they began on May 13, 1864, by the 
burial of a Confederate veteran, L. Reinhardt of the 23d 
North Carolina Regiment. During the remainder of the 
war a large number of burials were made, and after its close 
the remains of those who had been buried upon the battle- 
fields, or at the forts or hospitals, were removed to Arling- 
ton, until there are now lying on this sacred soil more than 
16,000 bodies of men engaged in that great struggle for free- 
dom, of which 2,111 are "unknown." 

Of this great number of martyrs, the following were 
members of our own regiment :

In the words of another : 

"These heroes are dead. They died for liberty — they 
died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they 



28 

made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the 
solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, the em- 
bracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the 
clouds, careless alike of sunshine or storm, each in the win- 
dowless palace of rest. Earth may run red with other wars 
— they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of 
conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one senti- 
ment for the living and dead — cheers for the living and 
tears for the dead."
